I don’t know about you but I LOVE salsa…. all kinds. Thick and chunky, black bean, peach, mango, pineapple – yes, I could go on forever since there are so many different kinds. I use it on everything – dressing on my salad, on my burgers, and with my eggs. You get the picture, right? Salsa is delish! And there’s nothing better than restaurant salsa – hot and spicy.

I am always looking for a healthy, fresh, easy recipe for salsa. I like salsa with fresh veggies when I am putting it on a salad or a burger BUT when it comes to dipping chips, I want it to taste like the yummy kind I find in my favorite Mexican restaurant.

This is a great recipe because you use ingredients you can keep in your pantry. So, when friends drop by for a visit or you need a quick snack for family, you can whip this up. You can mix it up in a food processor, a blender or I have even used my Magic Bullet.

Strain the tomatoes, and the Rotel. Dump in a colander and let the excess juice drain. DO NOT rinse them

Place all ingredients in Ninja (or processor, blender). Pour the lime juice over the top, then add cilantro.

Blend for 20 seconds.

Chill 1-2 hours before serving. It tastes better cold!

Now you have amazing salsa, let’s serve it on Thirty One’s Close to Home Tray. Place a small bowl with salsa on it along with some chips and let the fun begin. Add a dash of style to your home with this beautiful mango wood tray. It’s perfect for serving small snacks and makes a great decoration when not in use! Personalize it with a Simply Etched design to create a special keepsake. Dimensions: Approx. 7.25″H x 20″L x .75″D

Moist and full of fresh strawberry flavor, these muffins make a delightful treat. They’re perfect for a healthy breakfast, snack, or dessert, and the kids will love them!

Strawberries are on the Maybe list of foods to eat if you are on the Candida Diet. They are one of the lowest-sugar berries you can find, and a good way to introduce some fruit into your diet. Add in the coconut milk, coconut oil, and coconut flour, and you have a fiber-rich, low-sugar snack all the family will love.

You can make a large batch of these muffins and freeze them too. Take them on a picnic, or just keep them in the house for those between-meal hunger pangs. Just remember to make enough!

Spoon muffin batter into the prepared tin, smoothing tops, then press a strawberry slice on the top of each. Bake muffins until golden brown, about 30 to 35 minutes. Cool, serve.

Want to take one of these yummy treats with you when you are out and about? How about adding bottle of water (or tea)? Keep it all cool in Thirty One’s Cool Clip Thermal. This clip on thermal is ideal for carrying snacks. It easily attaches to a backpack, bag or tote. Also works well to hold medicine, sunscreen, makeup or small electronics.

I LOVE this Weight Watchers Recipe when I am craving something sweet without using ALL of my points. Let’s make some before the HOT summer weather comes or you can make it and put it in the refrigerator.

Rich and delicious, and so easy to prepare. One square is all you need to satisfy a sweet tooth. It is 3 PointsPlus Value for 1 cube.
Prep time: 10 min Cook time: 5 min Serves: 36

Meanwhile, in a nonstick pot, combine cornstarch with 1/2 cup water and stir to dissolve. Add all remaining ingredients except butter. Set heat to medium. Stirring frequently, cook until peaches have slightly softened and mixture is thick and gooey, 6 – 8 minutes.

Remove from heat, and stir in butter/buttery spread.

Spoon peach mixture into wonton cups, about 3 tbsp. each.

MAKES 12 SERVINGS

HG Tip: If you’re not serving all of these the same day they’re made, don’t add the filling to the wonton cups. Store the cups at room temp in a sealable container or bag. Store the filling in the fridge in a sealed container, and fill the cups right before serving.
